Sarah Jessica Parker and the gals of Sex and the City revolutionized the way many women (and men) look at their own friendships and relationships within our ever changing modern society. After six groundbreaking seasons on HBO, Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, and Kim Cattrall closed the doors on Sex and the City, leaving many fans to wonder if we'd ever see Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha together again on the small or big screens. A decade removed from television, Sex and the City returns, only this time as a theatrical film, which opens May 30.

Late last month, Sarah Jessica Parker reunited with her cast mates in one of New York City's finest hotels to promote the upcoming Sex and the City movie where she candidly talked to the press about everything from revisiting Carrie Bradshaw ten years later and the legacy of the series to the impact the show had on women, the deeper layers of friendship, the show's fashion sense, and what fans can expect from Carrie in the upcoming movie.

Here's a look at what Parker had to say during the Sex and the City press day:

Sarah Jessica Parker on whether people on the street still ask her for advice:

"No, not really, not anymore. When the show first aired, people would be not unkindly confrontational, but they would be very frank and candid and just tell me very personal and intimate details of their lives - really, men and women, honestly. But people weened themselves off that need and, more so now, they’re just approaching it in a general convivial way."

Parker on returning to both her character and Sex and the City:

"It was amazing. I started working on putting this movie back together in the spring of 2006, so by the time we started shooting on September 19th, it was so unreal to me that we had managed to get all the parts and pieces together. And myself and Michael Patrick [King], especially, had worked endlessly for the last year prior to shooting. So to get there, the role really got short shrift for a minute because everything else was so complicated. And to produce this movie was a massive undertaking and all of a sudden there we were on September 19th and it was a dream, honestly it was. I can’t wait for you to see it. Michael Patrick did a beautiful job. He wrote a wonderful story and he really gave me the part of a lifetime. So it was a thrill, honestly."

On bridging the gap between the show's previous timeline and the new movie:

"Well, I think Michael Patrick would be far more quick to answer the question because it’s really his storytelling skills that really address that very question. First of all, he started it four years later. It doesn’t pick up right when the series left, which makes everything - well, just in terms of Carrie’s life specifically - much more is at stake. There’s a lot more time invested in her relationship with Big, and obviously her friendships, her career and what she thinks is the destination point in her life. And I think he really addressed that time with all the characters so that everything has more value as you get older and people become more important in your lives. The necessities of your life become much more clear, and the frivolity and the whims, they’re marginalized because you’re grown up. And so I think that’s what’s relative about it. It’s less so about what is a hot club. Zeitgeist is peripheral, because you can’t write with that intention. You can’t hope to be that result oriented. You kind of just have to just write a great story, hopefully, and I think that’s what he did. And it’s up to us now to have screwed it up or not. But I think he did a beautiful job."

On whether the movie will have the same upfront, shocking, and push-the-envelope qualities:

"That’s always hard for me to say because I think that’s not for us to say. I think that’s for you guys and the public and whoever’s spending their hard-earned money to say what is shocking to them. I mean I think the expectations are very clear to us, but you can’t write for expectations. That’s a no-win situation. It would be like trying to start your article with 'This is what’s going to happen in this interview, and how a person is going to respond.' You just kind of have to let a story happen, because if you write hoping to please the audience exactly and give them everything they need, I think that’s an impossible scenario."

Parker on whether she feared Carrie was already seen as a superficial fashion oriented character:

"I didn’t have that fear. I think sometimes I wonder if people confuse me, and that that is the most important part of my life. But these are the things that come along with having played that character. So, I think there’s obviously a lot of substance to Carrie Bradshaw and I realize that a great part of her loves fashion and has a great relationship with clothes, but it’s not really the sum of who she is. If that had been the case, I don’t think the show really - I think novelty, it can’t keep a show on the air for that long. I think it has to be more of an emotional investment."

On being a role model for single women while also being married:

"I don’t know if so much of this - that my character is that, or if it’s really that the relationship of the women has been such an important thing for single women. I think those kinds of relationships have been very meaningful for a lot of women, and I’m thrilled that people have responded that way and they have that connection and that they have interest enough to want to see a movie."
